BAG YOUR TRASH

J C and Sons Trash Service is reminding local customers to bag their trash. The company warned that if trash is not in a bag, it will not be picked up. (Bagging has been required since the service started, but the company will have to really start enforcing it because so many people are not bagging their trash.

“FEED THE KIDS”

The Town of Wynona is going to host a summer program called “Feed the Kids.” Several groups are sponsoring this program.

Meals — generally consisting of a sandwich, fruit and a drink — will be brought to town hall once or twice a week. All kids 18-and-under are invited to participate. They must eat their meals on the premises, although, occasionally, they may be given extra food, etc., to take home.

Anyone with children who would like to take part in our program should contact Tennie Slone at Wynona Town Hall, 918-846-2526.
